Hy was die naasoudste van nege kinders, van wie net sy twee jonger broers, Denovan en dr. Marshall Heradien, &#8216;n bekende kardioloog, nog lewe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meester Johnnie, &#8216;n gebore en geto\u00eb Worcesteriet, het sy laerskoolopleiding aan die bekende NGK Oefenskool ontvang. Daarna is hy na die S\u00f6hnge-opleidingskool en het aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Luckhoff in Stellenbosch gematrikuleer. Hy het sy tersi\u00eare opleiding aan die Hewat-opleidingskollege, wat destyds nog in Roelandstraat gele\u00eb was, voltooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sy loopbaan as onderwyser het by S\u00f6hnge-kollege begin, waar hy Afrikaans vir aspirant-onderwysers gedoseer het. Daarna het hy by die Ho\u00ebrskool Esselenpark skoolgehou, toe vir &#8216;n ruk by die Ho\u00ebrskool Noorder Paarl, later weer teruggekeer na S\u00f6hnge en uiteindelik in 1994 by die Ho\u00ebrskool Bre\u00ebrivier as onderwyser afgetree.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meester Johnnie is in 1964 met Mumtaz getroud \u2013 &#8216;n nooi Ahmed. Uit die huwelik van bykans 61 jaar is twee dogters, Shireen en Nazley, gebore. Hy was ook die trotse oupa van drie kleinkinders en oupa van &#8216;n agterkleinkind. Hy was in sy onderwysloopbaan aktief by die administrasie van veral skolesport betrokke en was etlike jare president van die Boland-sportraad, waarvoor hy in 2012 vir sy uitsonderlike bydrae om skolesport in die Boland tot sy volle reg te laat kom, vereer is. Hy was ook vir jare die kassier van die Sonnestraal-kleuterskool.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het &#8216;n groot bydrae as gemeenskapsmens gelewer. Sy oud-kollegas vertel hoe hy dikwels met sy eie geld na behoeftige kinders omgesien het wat in provinsiale spanne opgeneem is, maar nie die geld gehad het om hul drome te verwesenlik nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aangesien hy ook &#8216;n betroubare vragmotor gehad het, was hy destyds veral onder sportlui in aanvraag vir vervoer buite die dorp vir sportbyeenkomste. Hy het later selfs &#8216;n bus aangeskaf om dit vir sportspanne nog geriefliker te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Om alles te kroon het hy tot sy 82ste verjaardag deeltyds by Abet, die inrigting vir volwasse onderrig in Worcester, klasgegee.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022\u2009Meester Johnnie word hierdie Saterdag (12\u2009Julie) om 09:30 vanuit die NG\u2009Moederkerk in Kerkstraat begrawe. Besigtiging is van 09:00 en &#8216;n private verassing vind n\u00e1 die diens plaas. &#8211; Alver Uys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
